It is time for a new challenge over at Stuck On U Sketches - this time with this wonderful sketch from Pagemaps.

I have had some problems with this post. As I am on vacation I had planned on using my phone to make my blogpost this week, but stupid blogwriter app just made empty posts and refused to upload my photo...I had taken a few other photos with the camera I brought with me, without photoshop I had a bit trouble cropping my photo. I finally gave up making it right - so sorry for the strange photo...

I made a simple layout out of the sketch. I love this photo, so did not want to have too much stuff going on around it (and symmetry and simplicity is me I guess LOL), but settled for the colors from his bathrobe and some bath bubbles. I have used a patterned paper from Bo Bunny. I cut a circle out of it and made a circle of liquid pearls around it. The frame around the title is a spellbinders die, and the title is written with stickers from my stash. Buttons are also just from my store cupboard.

Glad you stopped by. Please take your time to visit us at Stuck On U Sketches, and if you are not a follower yet you are very welcome.

Hope you will have a great weekend. I am going to continue my knitting. So far this week I have made one hat and almost two pair of socks :)

I really dreaded this sketch and postponed my start on it for a very long time because there were so much stuff on it, but when I started it was so easy to use.

I have used pictures of my little boy from his Christening. He is so cute in the dress my Mother in Law made. Papers are from one of my favourites - the norwegian producer Papirdesign, and I have used flowers from Prima and flowers and lace from my local craft store.

Thank you for coming by, and please visit my fellow DT-members at SOUS.

I am so sorry I am so terribly late with my post this week. It has been a busy weekend!

It will also be a short post, because I want to get back to my papers in the basement. Lots of projects going on that will appear on my blog soon I hope :)

There are some projects that you never really like, and this was one for me. I like some elements of it (the stamped image painted and then sprayed with mist, and I like the text stamp part. I also like the leaves I have used very much (from Gypsy wanderings), but I still don't like the card.

So no need for a big drum roll - but here is my card:

I think my papers are from Sassafrass, but am not quite sure. I love them thoug. The leaves are as mentioned earlier from Gypsy wanderings, and the die cut circle and the text frame are Spellbinders. Rhinestones are from imaginisce.

Hope you take your time to visit the SOUS blog and the other designers. There are lots of wonderful projects this week too!
